Japan’s JICA assists with cross-border logistics
Sun, 10 January 2021
The Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA) will provide technical assistance to improve the flow of transnational shipments at checkpoints along Cambodia’s borders with Vietnam and Thailand where current facilities and procedures lead to traffic congestion and long delays.
Ministry of Public Works and Transport spokesman Wasim Sorya told The Post on January 7 that JICA had initiated a study of cross-border logistics, completing first-phase planning for the project and preliminary consultations with the government.
A second phase entailing on-site surveys is now underway. Units from the JICA working group have been deployed to study conditions at each border while other units are tasked with devising and implementing strategies for the modernisation of Cambodia’s commercial truck fleet and a “green logistics plan,” Sorya said.
